JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default whats the best mpg youve ever seen on your jk??

Ok so I was headed to OBX for the week woot woot and I was in the draft of a big rig so I had a slight advantage but after like 25 miles or so I got the mpg eco average all the way up to 27.5 without resetting it. Given the advantage I had its still sick haha. I have a stock X jku with the 6 spd trans and 3.21 rears and the 255/75/17 goodyear sr-a's. Here's a pic for proof. Gotta have that.

Stopped at the dealer yesterday for warranty on a bad CD player. When they connected the shop computer to get the serial number for the radio, it also did a software update. When I left the dealer the dashboard showed 115 MPG! (Things got back to normal after a couple restarts and resets.)

My best MPG has been 23.4 on a leisurly 120 mile run on 2-lane roads. Normally I see about 21 with mostly hwy driving. I'm sure that will go to hell in a hurry after some mods.
